Lionel Messi has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the end of this season. Although the Parisian club has said that it will do everything possible to retain him, there are many rumors of his departure.
For months there has been speculation that Inter Miami could be the world champion’s next destination. Still, the MLS club has emerged as a tough competitor in the race to sign the Argentine star.
Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal has said they are willing to do anything to sign Messi.
Some sources very close to the teams that want Messi, PSG, and Al-Hilal, and confirmed that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG, and Turki Al-Sheikh, president of the General Authority for Entertainment of Saudi Arabia, held a meeting in Qatar to discuss Messi’s possible arrival at the club.
From Saudi Arabia, the phrase “we are willing to do whatever it takes” was mentioned in that meeting, and it is a clear sign that Messi could get one of the biggest contracts of all time, even surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s.
The issue in everything is what the player thinks;. However, he already has a certain age, he continues to perform at a good level, so it is likely that he wants to stay in a European club that allows him to compete at the highest level. Still, the Millions of Arab dollars can be a strong deterrent to convincing La Pulga.
Conflicts in the locker room continue.
Despite PSG’s attempts to keep Lionel Messi in their ranks, rumors of conflicts in the dressing room continue to circulate.
Reports have suggested that tensions between Messi and his teammate Kylian Mbappe have been especially strained since the arrival of the Argentine star.
This was further evidenced by an altercation during PSG’s match against Monaco earlier this month when Mbappe appeared to argue with Messi after a missed opportunity from an assist from the latter.
The situation has led many to speculate on whether Messi will stay at Paris or look for another club in the near future.
While it is true that he enjoys playing for the club, dissent in the dressing room could force him out if tensions don’t subside soon.
What do the odds say?
Inter Miami 14/1
Manchester City 14/1
Any Saudi Arabian Club 14/1
Chelsea 1/16
Manchester United 20/1
Liverpool 1/25
